Security Patrol Update (Jan. 1–14)

Thanks to Subscribers' contributions, UHNA Security Patrol is able to maintain Atlanta Police Officers on our security patrol having a shift 7 days a week instead of what it used to be at 3 or 4 days a week, benefiting ALL neighbors!

Please send non-members here to sign up:   https://www.underwoodhills.org/security.html. 
We do need more members to get our budget up to keep the 7 days a week going for the shifts.

Please help reach out to non-members and invite them to subscribe.
Subscribers use the security patrol email and phone to reach our officer directly, to request vacation checks on your house while you're gone, and report suspicious activity.

Below is the two-week security patrol report from our head police officer that runs the security patrol.

Significant Incidents
On January 9, 2022, a woman was driving south on the 1700 block of Howell Mill Road when a vehicle suddenly pulled out in front of her.  When she drove alongside the vehicle, one of the occupants pointed a pistol at her.  The suspect has been identified and warrants were issued for his arrest.

Some additional information about an incident from January 18, 2022
At 8:15 am, a resident on Ridgeway called 911 after seeing a white male attempt to enter his mother's vehicle, which was parked outside of their residence.  The resident confronted the suspect and told him to leave.  The suspect continued to try to open the doors and trunk but the vehicle was locked.  Officers arrived quickly and detained the suspect.  He was arrested and charged with a city ordinance violation of Unauthorized Attempted Interference with a Parked Vehicle.  He was transported to the city jail.  The patrol team is aware of this incident and will be on the lookout for any potential return of this subject to the neighborhood.
 
Thanks to all of those that contribute to the security patrol for the benefit of all of our neighbors! 

Sincerely,
John 
Security Patrol Chair
